Chapter 1775: Chapter 642: White Moonlight VS Substitute (Part 7)_3

"Haha, I’m really curious, what does that Miss He actually look like, to have bewitched our always-cold Chairman Gu!"

"Tch! What’s the use of being pretty? Just a little nobody with that cheap vibe all over her, taking her out is just embarrassing!"

"Don’t say that, at least she’s a graduate from a top university; that’s way better than those Internet celebs you love to fool around with!"

"Exactly, exactly. Old Gu is so picky, he’d never go for a plastic-surgery face. That Miss He must be all-natural. A beauty’s not completely useless, you know!"

"What’s wrong with Internet celebs? These days even actual stars aren’t as good as Internet celebs. I say you’re just jealous!"

"Jealous of what? Jealous you watch that crap live-streaming every day?"

"...Alright, alright, we were talking about Old Gu and Anran, how did this end up all on me?"

A few young men and women were giggling and fooling around together.

Right at this moment, Gu Hong arrived with He Tiantian in tow.

"You’re all here? Let me introduce you: He Mengtian, my fiancée!"

Gu Hong swept his long, narrow phoenix eyes across the room, and when he didn’t see the person he was looking for, he couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.

He thought to himself: Anran hasn’t come yet? Or she refused to come?

It should be the former.

Anran might be willful and spoiled, but she’s the type whose word is law.

She promised she’d come, so she definitely will.

Probably just running late!

Gu Hong guessed this in his heart, but nothing showed on his face.

He didn’t even take the initiative to ask about Qin Anran; instead, he pushed He Tiantian forward and introduced her to everyone.

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

"Sister-in-law!"

"Miss He, hello!"

"Aiya, so this is Miss He, I’ve heard so much about you!"

"Little sister-in-law, haha, I’m Old Gu’s good brother, just call me Brother Chen!"

The rich second generation kids all greeted He Tiantian with great enthusiasm.

Of course, whether that enthusiasm was genuine or just for show was hard to say.

He Tiantian keenly sensed the way these people were sizing her up, and the hidden malice among them.

Well now, looks like there are some of Qin Anran’s besties or ride-or-dies here.

Especially that soft-looking young man sitting off in the corner. He didn’t stand up, and he didn’t greet He Tiantian.

But the malice radiating off him was the strongest of all. Even with his head lowered, seemingly immersed in his own world, He Tiantian could still feel that almost tangible hostility!

Could this guy be—

Being familiar with the plot, He Tiantian of course knew the evil female supporting character had a diehard bootlicker by her side.

Zhao Qingming?

This soft, feminine-looking man should be the biggest villain in this otherwise simple pursuit-romance.

He’s paranoid, and he has severe mental illness.

Bright and radiant Qin Anran is a beam of light in his heart, his faith.

For Qin Anran, Zhao Qingming did all kinds of terrible things.

And the person Qin Anran hated most was the female lead He Mengtian, so Zhao Qingming targeted her at every turn.

If it weren’t for He Mengtian’s female lead halo, and for Gu Hong’s timely awakening and desperate protection, He Mengtian would have been killed by Zhao Qingming long ago.

Thinking of certain episodes in the original novel, He Tiantian instinctively became wary of Zhao Qingming.

Even though the novel’s ending was supposed to be HE, and He Mengtian would see the bitterness through to sweetness,

she did, in fact, suffer.

That kind of hurt is not something a few simple words can really capture.

Having time-traveled too many times, He Tiantian knows very well that those people who once only existed on paper are living, breathing humans in the novel world.

When they get hit, it hurts.

When their skin is cut, they bleed.

Zhao Qingming... that sick yandere is a complete psycho, utterly deranged.

The female lead took plenty of damage from him!

But this time, things should be different.

The Wild Writer has become Qin Anran, and she seems to have decent values—she cleanly and decisively broke up with Gu Hong.

Without the scumbag Gu Hong, there’s no longer a love-rival setup between Qin Anran and "He Mengtian."

Only—

For the moment, He Tiantian still couldn’t tell whether this Wild Writer has any malice toward the original female lead.

This time isn’t like the last world, where as soon as He Tiantian arrived, she had to face the Wild Writer harming the female lead.

In this round, the Wild Writer has already been here for a while; she only broke up with Gu Hong and hasn’t gone after "He Mengtian."

She also hasn’t used Zhao Qingming, this mad dog, to secretly hurt anyone.

So He Tiantian was a bit puzzled. This Wild Writer inhabiting Qin Anran doesn’t seem like the type to use any means necessary just to finish a mission!

Of course, that’s still only speculation. To know for sure, she’ll have to meet Qin Anran in person.

"Eh? Chen Ming, don’t you think this Miss He looks kind of familiar?"

"...Fuck, I didn’t notice till you said it, but now that you mention it, she really does look familiar!"

"Who does she remind you of?"

"Damn! Qin Anran! Qin Anran from our high school days!"

While He Tiantian was secretly sizing up Zhao Qingming, the rich second gens were also quietly gossiping among themselves.

Their voices weren’t low; at the very least, both He Tiantian and Gu Hong heard them.

Gu Hong’s expression stayed perfectly normal; he didn’t react at all.

He Tiantian deliberately put on a look of shock and confusion.

Right then, the rich second gens started shouting again: "Anran’s here!"
